 Rusting After Just One Month August 17, 2010
AndyH (CT United States)
We're very disappointed in this ice crusher, as most of its metal parts began rusting after less than a month of daily use. We have owned several versions of this manual crusher over the years: black plastic and chrome ones from the 1960's (one "hand-me-down", and a second tag-sale find); a Swing-Away (?) plastic version with a vacuum base; and two of this particular one.
For the first week or so, this did an ok job, though it did tend to slide around the counter during use. (The vacuum base on our previous crusher helped avoid this problem.) This crusher is made out of a rigid, clear plastic; we didn't get to use it long enough to see if it would hold up as well as the sightly flexible, translucent plastic of our previous vacuum-based model.
The key problem was that the metal parts of this crusher began rusting within a couple of weeks. (The same problem ruined our prior vacuum-based model, though it took a year or two to occur there.) Unfortunately, the rust began appearing just after the 30-day return period ended.
We've since purchased the electric Waring Pro Professional Ice Crusher through Amazon; while it was considerably more expensive, it seems to work very well and there is no sign of rusting. If you use a crusher at all frequently, I'd suggest spending more for the Waring.
Good except for RUST! Returning it! August 4, 2010
Talon Jensen (Huntington Beach, CA)
I really like the size of the ice from this crusher. I have an ice shaver and I didn't want that. The ice is just right for me, small enough to easily crunch with my teeth but not so small it all melts into a smoothie.
As two reviewers noted the handle can come off if you turn it counterclockwise (as viewed from the handle side) but it easily screws back together. I simply started only crushing in the clockwise direction.
As most similar products it is a little difficult to use and hold, but I expected that and I am big enough it isn't a problem for me. My little kids loved using it because they could see the ice get crushed but it took them a long time to crush the ice, even after I put it lower so they could put their weight on it.
I have had mine about two weeks and I AM RETURNING IT BECAUSE OF THE RUST PROBLEM! Three of the four screws holding the top on rusted immediately as did the washers between the tines and the handle. It is likely that my living next to the ocean had some influence on the quick rust, but I would not expect any rust in an ice crusher and I just am too annoyed at having to pick out the discolored ice. I will try another.
Poorly Made Junk August 1, 2010

I regret buying this item. It seemed to work well when I first got it, but after only a month the plastic grate that the crushing teeth pass between cracked and large chunks fell out. It is now a useless piece of trash. I had a crusher that was similar in design but had a metal grate and it lasted for over 30 years before it wore out.
I wish I could find one that is made of metal, but it seems all the ones out today have the same cheap plastic hopper design.
Go electric crusher July 23, 2010

The handle fell off when in use and is difficult to turn. A larger knob on the handle would help. Crusher needs a non slip base added as it tends to wander all over the counter when crushing ice. I would not purchase this item again.
Shipment and billing however were good from supplying company.
 Great so far June 8, 2010
